Something old, something new . . . Alongside Yeezy Season 1, Barneys New York is now offering its shoppers the chance to snap up an array of vintage Hermès leather goods, with an initial offering of 18 pieces that went up today. Among the goods offered through Heritage Auctions, you’ll find statement-making belts (from the iconic studded Collier de Chien to more classic horsebit styles) and plenty of bags, bien sûr: There are Birkins and Kellys in hues from the palest pink leather to sky blue alligator to a fabulous rich olive. While both styles are veteran presences on the luxury landscape—the Birkin was introduced in 1984, while the Kelly’s earliest iteration dates back to 1892—if recent headlines are any indication, they’re “investment” buys in the truest sense of the world: This past June a fuchsia Birkin broke records at auction, selling for almost $222,000.

The online-only private sale (which will be replenished periodically as pieces find new homes) is available solely to Barneys cardholders, but you’ll find a preview of the wares on offer above. Happy shopping!
